DOE announces NEPA exclusion for advanced reactors
The Department of Energy has announced that it is establishing a categorical exclusion for the application of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures to the authorization, siting, construction, operation, reauthorization, and decommissioning of advanced nuclear reactors.
According to the DOE, this significant change, which goes into effect today, “is based on the experience of DOE and other federal agencies, current technologies, regulatory requirements, and accepted industry practice.”

Very homogeneous microtextures of porous LiAlO2 have been prepared in a large range of porosity and elementary grain diameter in order to determine more easily the T2 diffusion coefficient in the solid and optimize the best microstructure for the blanket. From this large field of homogeneous microstructures, empirical equations describing the properties of these porous bodies have been deduced, as a function of porosity, grain diameter and temperature, for instance : ultra sound velocity, Young's modulus, ultimate compressive strength, creep, thermal shock and electrical conductivity.
